The first one is primarily for Windows 2000 & above, however pre-2000 (the old way still works). If it is blank (or different to what is was before) then that is one of the reason why you can't log in via that way.

Edit: ignore the red arrow, it's the first picture I found with the required tab open

Not sure if I'm on the right lines based on what you've wrote but log onto your server, go into control panel, system properties and you should see a tab called "computer name". Either click Network ID to use the wizard or click Change to add your server to your contoso.com domain.

I set my domain up as .local as it is not a FQDN, hence not routable through the internet. The .local domain is a commonly used standard but you can use .anything or .whocares if you want.
